CPT James Cho
As soon as you’re comfortable, move. Innovating through relationships and technology to solve complex problems in high risk environments is my passion. I enjoy disrupting the status quo and challenging what is possible as a leader in the military by choosing a non-traditional career path. Adapting to change and accepting risk is both critical and necessary.
